There's OSS at the large-scale level (Linux, Firefox, Postgres) where the model is clearly working and sustainable.
There's also OSS at the "one man band has a small project" level, where, IMO, the sustainable model has yet to be figured out.

Is it, really? At "the large-scale level" of the project, perhaps -- but what do we know about how "sustained" individual contributors even to those projects feel they are being?
